Abstract
Insensitive munition assessments are required to carry out sympathetic detonation experiments, in which detonation of an explosive charge triggers detonation of another, and a chain reaction subsequency starts. In this paper, a numerical simulation method is developed to predict the sympathetic detonation behavior of fuze explosive trains, which includes the ignition and growth model, the Jones-Wilkins-Lee equations of state, and the constitutive relationship. The sympathetic detonation behaviors of a fuze is studied for a single donor and a single acceptor. The causes of sympathetic detonation of the fuze explosive trains are analyzed for different fragment and shock wave loading conditions. A sympathetic detonation criterion in different modes of loading is established, which provides a theoretical model for predicting the relationship between the detonation sequence and the placement distance of the fuze. The conclusions obtained in this paper can provide a reference for studying sympathetic detonation of fuze conditions.
